Our leaders are focused on winning the next election.
Leaders of many companies are compensated according to how well the stock does in the short run.
And we are surprised by all the short term thinking.
Align the interests of leaders with the long term interests of the country and company and things will change for the better.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f9e348eab8ea781100001fbahahalolFri, 18 Jan 2013 19:05:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f9e348eab8ea781100001f
Easy to jump on the bash boeing / faa bandwagon however here the FAA has acted like they should - planes have been grounded until this is figured out.
It's a new airframe and lots of new tech. If we want aerospace to move forward this will happen.
Keep in mind in testing the planes are run be engineers - in production they are run by monkies. While you try hard as an engineer to simulate monkies sometimes it's tough. It will be interesting to know the cause here exactly and whether service errors or other user errors contributed to these incidents.
I think one big lesson here is that Made in America is coming back strong. There are no longer labour arbitrage opportunities like there once were. Keeping things stateside is the way to go.
Now if only we can get Intel to make fabs here... :)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f9c040eab8ea654600001cpatriot665Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:36:00 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f9c040eab8ea654600001c
Reagan started the idea "oh oh we don't need any regulators" and what we got was an FAA that is bought and paid for and utterly controlled by the airline industry. And now we're so surprised that guess what they were not regulating at all, they were Yes-men through and through. I love how our FAA guy got up with Boeing last week and said "no no these planes are fine really no really" and then a week later grounded them all. They de-regulated Wall Street and that worked out really well too, oops just a coupla trillion $ of your and my money to "fix" that problem, oops still completely "un-fixed". But regulations are bad, oooh so bad.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f9b3906bb3f73a1c000007CheckMates KorlatoltftFri, 18 Jan 2013 15:41:52 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f9b3906bb3f73a1c000007
Outsourcing at its best. The problem is the share holders and USA workers will also feel the pain.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f9af7c69bedd430a00000aits simpleFri, 18 Jan 2013 15:24:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f9af7c69bedd430a00000a
Its the management, they didnt plan it well. If it were a private company they would have been fired by now.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f99d22eab8eaa179000042Lucius ModernusFri, 18 Jan 2013 14:06:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f99d22eab8eaa179000042
insider debauchery, as usual. Boeing was subsidized and clearly not regulated well. I hope they lose a sh*t-ton of $$$
